History
Name taken from JFK's 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis speech. See "Fruits of Victory" for my cocktail also named for this speech.
From other users
- Appropriately named; quite spicy and smoky. Absolutely delicious
- Enjoyed the ancho - mezcal combo. They're the main players but the amaro (I used sfumato) and vermouth work well as glue.
- Swapped out the amaro to inventory and couldn’t get to balance. Not a knock on the original; just a note for my records.
